Day Two of our Journey & Barb's Big Day

I drove Big Bertha today oops guess I am to call it THE COACH. Well Jerry has been telling me if you want to drive let me know. When we stopped at a rest stop to have lunch the sign said 40 miles to the next rest stop. So I said to myself this would be a good time to do it. I got on the freeway and off the freeway just fine and drove it 60 to 65 miles per hour. Not bad but I haven't pulled into a fueling station or parked in a park yet so those would be my next challenge. Fuel stations in a truck stop would be fine. Well my elbows and knees were pretty tight when I finished my test drive. I am not sure how Jerry's nerves were but at least at one point he put his feet up so figured he was relaxing a little bit.
Well we are in Dickensen ND tonight. Tomorrow we will get to Jerry's aunt and uncles by early afternoon.
All is well and so far the trip has been real good. Oh yes and fuel is 4.25 per gallon we could hardly believe it both yesterday and today when we filled up. We even seen it for 4.19 and 4.21 maybe be time we get to the east coast it will be almost free haha. Good for us. We will take all the savings we can get.
By for now from the Watland's
